Scrappage is only available for one year at the moment, and the pot of cash is finite too... if the economy picks up then I expect the government will stop the scheme, SORN may not be worth the hassle.
Some of the manufacturers are doing their own "scrappage" schemes, I think both Citroen and Nissan are offering a guaranteed trade-in against slightly newer cars. Although probably works out the same as you could barter off anyway!
What we did with my girlfriend's old car was donate it to the fire service for training (ie cutting the roof off and setting it on fire). Seemed like a more worthwhile way to end a cars life than paying someone to scrap it.
